The Pediatric Nurses’ Knowledge and Attitude Survey regarding Pain (PNKAS) was used to measure knowledge toward children’s pain management. Data were collected from December 15 to December 30, 2012.
Results: The overall percentage of correct answer was 56%. The pain assessment scale and non-pharmacological pain intervention which senior nursing students used in most were face pain rating scale (94.6%, n=158/167) and emotional support (93.4%, n=156/167). Significant differences were found in self-efficacy scores between above-average group of knowledge score.
